Full on Patreon💙 The Vikings had an oath that allowed two unrelated, yet like-minded warriors to become blood brothers. But if you alter just a couple of syllables, it transforms into a hidden vow of love.
Literally, it goes like this:
"We pass under the turf arch. Our blood flows into the earth, making us one. I bind myself to you in loyalty and deep love, which shall not fail as long as my life lasts. You are the joy of my eyes and my strength. I shall avenge you as a brother, and follow you in life and death. May Odin witness us."
